I so wanted Rocketman, the new movie about Elton John, to be good. It was so much more than just good. At one point, eyes welled with tears, I looked over to my friend and her vision was equally blurred. This is a movie about friendship, redemption and, of course, music. Rocketman is still in theatres and I strongly recommend you get out and see it. Taron Egerton plays Elton John and his performance is captivating from start to finish. His relationship with Richard Madden (who plays Elton’s former lover and manager) is electrifying…until it isn’t. I did not want this movie to end. Hope you love it too!

Rocketman reminded me of another great music movie bio, Love and Mercy,  with John Cusack as Brian Wilson. It is a really wonderful movie.
